The Sam Nicoresti win at Edinburgh Festival is more sinister than it would at first seem. If this man will now be catapulted to comedy stardom. whilst pretending to be a woman, he needs investigating for that grift but also for his views about women.

Let's start with his joking about women's sexuality. Here Sam discusses how he made his girlfriend a lesbian with his choice to be a woman. Hstyle routine in 'Wokeflake' (which was the basis for his award-winning Edinburgh show) you can see that he actively and viciously hates women and in particular TERF women. This is hidden away inside jokes. Flimsily.

A thread. Including clips.

Let's start with joking about women's sexuality. Here Sam discusses how he made his girlfriend a lesbian with his choice to be a woman. He is explicit about making her stay with him by emotional manipulation.

The whole video is full of intense woman-hating. It is hard to select the bits that are the worst. Much of the hatred and ridicule of women's objections to trans ideological impositions on women's rights are "cleverly hidden" inside a "joke". It is vile.

Here Sam tells women that we don't care about male violence. In fact we CAUSE male violence. That we never discuss it where it matters and that we don't talk about male violence in the home or in the streets.

There is an attack on JK Rowling for pretending to be a man, which dismisses gender critical thinking.

There is the obligatory accusation that TERFs are nazis.

There is an awful dream sequence where all of the viewpoints of TERF women are parodied in the form of an insane male character called Nam Sicoresti. It is really awful. It makes gender critical women into a man who eventually goes insane and is cancelled by a female platform censor.

I won't summarise the entire video, as it is appalling in its poorly hidden, angry messages disguised behind the language of Sam being a happy hippy type who just wants everyone to get along. Sam tells us that being trans is part of your soul.

And finally - the ultimate manipulative technique - after framing TERFs as the enemy throughout - he delivers the end result. Someone - unnamed - is killing trans women. Do the maths.

if this man is carrying this message forward and is about to be beloved by the nation as a comic, then it is very dangerous for women. He is a grifting, misogynist narc who put on a dress when he saw a gap in the market to bring forward a narrative which will target women as hateful nazis.
